Girl With A Pearl

I finished my newest painting today. It's a study, in oil, of Johannes Veemeer's "Girl With A Pearl Earring". He painted the original in 1665- 1666. My painting is 18" x 24". She is one in a series of paintings that I will be working on titled "Women from the Masters".

I really love the original painting and I'm very proud of what I have accomplished. I can't imagine the type of oils that were used in the 1600's. One thing I know is that the painters of that time were incredible. I guess that's why they are called "Masters" today. The next in this series will be Mona Lisa.
